+As mentioned in the introduction, there are two kinds of objects:
primitives and containers. The primitives are usually the things you
want to configure (the font of a :class:`~matplotlib.text.Text`
instance, the width of a :class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D`) although
the containers also have some properties as well -- for example the
:class:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes` :class:`~matplotlib.artist.Artist` is a
container that contains many of the primitives in your plot, but it
